Snow

Snow is a thin, layer object that forms on blocks during and after snowfall. It does not impede player movement in any way, and turns any grass it may fall on white. If some type of light source (e.g. Torch, Glowstone, Lava) is placed in snow, the snow will melt, and will not be replaced by snowfall until the light source is removed.

If hit with a Shovel, it will yield a Snowball. If hit with anything other than a shovel, it will not drop anything. These snowballs can be thrown or used to create Snow Blocks.
